It does matter. I signed up to lemm.ee originally. The 4th biggest instance It is no more and my account and a few communities went with it. That risk still exists on mastodon.

I used to have crackling issues with pulseaudio. It needed restarting constantly. Not issue since the switch to pipewire. So my experienced was the absolute opposite of yours.

Nice. Back down to 2.17% next month.

Steams survey doesn’t seem to be very consistent.

Is GTFS short for Get The Fucking Schedule?

I want it to be true.

Fair enough. Appreciate the info.

An insulin pump doesn’t work without an app?

Sheesh, that’s dystopian? What if a diabetic doesn’t have a smart phone? Surely there is an alternative? How did they function before Android?

Jitsi requires authentication from big tech companies now, or at least person hosting call.

It’s always the trade off. Convenience vs privacy. Personally, I always have a real wallet so cards are convenient to me. Batteries can run out at any time.

Using Google anything is never a privacy option.

Google wallet? Why would you move off Google and use something pointless a bank card would do?

I’m in the UK, but can access banking websites via browser.

Hey. I pay good money for that.

I’m over here, buddy…

I don’t. I just export to PDF if I need them to see formatting the same.

Cause the nerds live underground…

Is there even any rules on VPNs? Wasn’t you just on holiday for a weekend?

It’s not that they don’t want from the UK, they just can’t be bothered to deal with the Online Safety Act.

If it isn’t many images, couldn’t you just login on VPN (i think proton has free one) and delete images?

That’s great to hear. Congratulations on the pay rise. You’ve clearly got valuable, transferable soils.

It is hard to keep detached, as we never truly own it until it’s ours. Good to hear you got free hardware. It’s my favourite price.

China? Silk Road dude was distracted by 2 enforcement offices while several arrested and grabbed the laptop. If you’re doing things that draw that level of resourcing, that’s on you. I don’t think any civilian had a 9 person heist for a laptop in China… Unless you have a reference… But I doubt it…

Edit: oops. This is old. Hope you’re OK and things improved.

You’re grieving for what you built. It’s good to take pride and push for better. However, you don’t own it. They pay for your time and your expertise. Love your skills and the learning. If the environment stops being right for you, plot your escape at a time that suits. Companies make shit decisions, they have and always will. They sometimes lead you to believe you have influence while it benefits then with your commitment/engagement. When that no longer suits, its the end.

What you feel is valid, it’s good you have standards and care. It’s now time to understand work is generally an exploitative relationship. Protect yourself and understand you’re being used. Find a situation where being used feels good for now and good for your bank balance.

Appreciate the feedback.

I’ve seen it one other time. If you see it again, feel free to report it. It definitely helps get visibility of it.

Plus, probably filters out low value contributions. People on Codeberg are generally genuinely interested in a project and not chasing activity graphs/clout/CV padding.
